Paul,
An ERR KEY message normally only occurs on power up, and indicates that
a key contact is closed or a PTT switch is closed.
I suggest that you remove all cables from the KX2 except for the antenna
and power and see if the message is still present.
If it is gone, then plug each cable in until it occurs. When you find
the offending cable, test it and repair it.
In most cases, there is nothing wrong with the transceiver, but the
problem is with external cables. It would not be good to send it to
Elecraft for repair only to find a report of No Trouble Found and an
invoice for $99 plus shipping.

Last night after working a couple SKCC guys on 3550 my KX2 just shut down and
said on the display err key. I could not get it to do anything so I sent the
configure file to it. It seemed to be ok but shut down again a few minutes
later. It has done the same thing twice this morning. A cheep led volt meter
reads that the power supply drops to 13.6 volts while transmitting. What the
heck do I need to look for or is my radio number 855 wanting a roadtrip to the
home factory?
Thanks in advance de Paul N0NBD
